uCPE (SD-WAN)  - Enterprise WAN edge use of SD-WAN solutions or universal CPU CPE (uCPE).  In this use case, plan is to support following scenarios:

...

ELIOT Manager is the central controller which manages the orchestration, life cycle, management and networking of edge nodes. It can be installed on a bare metal server or cloud VM with Ubuntu 16.04 /18.04 or Cent OS 7.5 version.
The node  Kubernetes Master (kubeadm, kubectl, kubelet) , Kubeedge-EdgeController to facilitate auto deploy, high availability, orchestration, self-healing of the ELiot ELIOT Edge nodes.

ELIOT Nodes - uCPE Node are Edge compute processing nodes which can be on an IOT Gateway or uCPE hardware or VM's.  As the edge nodes can have restricted hardware resources of CPU , Memory etc, ELIOT uses ELIOT Minimal OS for the Edge nodes which is basically tailored version of CentOS minimal.  ELIOT Minimal OS is a lightweight OS suitable for ELIOT Edge nodes.

ELIOT blueprint will use lightweight OS, Lightweight Kubelet -- KubeEdge , lightweight container runtime interface -- like containerd. By this we can leverage the core features of OS, K8S, CRI and make the edge node lightweight and efficient edge computing node by executing edge applications on node and reducing the interaction between Central Controller (Cloud Node) and the Edge Node devices.

Many cloud native monitoring applications can be used to collect container matrix and show them in a graphical manner, like cadvisor, grafana , prometheus.

(Note: The ELIOT SD-WAN / WAN Edge / uCPE Overall Architecture remains same as Release 1.0)
